New experience for growth

Tips: Moving to Glasgow is definitely a culture shock—mostly down to the gray weather and the thick Scandi-adjacent Scottish accent—but if you’re used to shifting environments, you’ll fit right in. The people here are insanely welcoming, so settling into the West End is a breeze. Course-wise, I’ve got zero complaints about the uni setup. Just make sure you sort your money out before you pack. Scholarships are totally dependent on your exact course, so skip the generic advice and dig into the university’s specific funding pages the second you apply.

Excellent exposure with welcoming atmosphere

Tips: Scholarships are possible for international students, especially from India. The usual scholarship amount is £5,000; the maximum is £10,000. The university is good for exposure. Cultural shifts exist because there are not a lot of Indian communities in Glasgow as compared to England, especially London. Overall, the course and university are good for international students. They are welcoming.

Likes (Indian Food): Glasgow, as a city, offers a lot of choices across restaurants, across every cuisine. There are plenty of Indian restaurants to order from. Also, there are Indian shops as well for groceries where you can buy a lot of ready-to-eat food items from Haldiram and other brands, which makes cooking easier as well. These Indian grocery shops basically provide you everything essential for cooking as well.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not a lot of options are available for international students; no direct university placements are happening as well. Based on the government guidelines, it’s very difficult for the forms for our intern students; even if they are doing that, they have to pay a minimum of £35,000 annually, and they are only allowed to work for one and a half years post-education, which makes it challenging to find a job.

UofG - The university that helped me discover myself

Tips: There was a big cultural shift. A lot of diversity is something that stood out to me. It was a wonderful experience interacting with people across the world and learning about their culture. I did not find any scholarship. I am extremely satisfied with the university. The course curriculum was also incredible detailed. The professors were extremely helpful in aiding my transition from engineering to physics research.

Likes (Indian Food): Food options were great, honestly. Lots of Indian restaurants all around. Lots of places to try a lot of cuisines. You can source prices and a lot of Indian spices as well. I did pack some spices myself from home, but there are also spices available to buy at local stores.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Chances of permanent settlement in the country are a bit of a problem right now due to stricter anti-migration laws. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful place to settle. Personally, I wouldn't settle in the UK. But that's just me XD. Although I can definitely see why it's a very attractive option. Beautiful place, wonderful people, and amazing weather (I love cold places).

A prestigious university with a vibrant, diverse community and endless opportunities to connect.

Tips: The campus is humongous and the city is very vibrant. I personally felt welcome and it's not like you will feel alone. There are so many societies in the University that you can join and meet people. I applied through a consultancy before coming here, you can do it alone as well but it makes the process easier. I received the India Merit Award which was based on my Undergrad marks. Check the University and the coursework you are applying to thoroughly. Check the job opportunities and be prepared.

Likes (Safety): The city is very safe, you can walk in the area at night, especially Glasgow West End and you won't feel anything. Students always have an app provided by the university that they can use whenever they run into any kind of problem that requires immediate attention. It's like a 24x7 service available over the call, irrespective of you being on campus or not. Luckily, I hadn't had any such experience. Glasgow is a very vibrant city full of diversity and amazing people.

Dislikes (Internships): You will have plenty of opportunities for an internship but the competition is fierce; you need to keep an eye out for internships as there are only a few spots. You might not get an internship if you are in your Master's as most of them are looking for undergrad students and if you are able to find some, it might not be in your relevant field of study. The university does offer a lot of internships for which you can apply. They are both paid and unpaid.

A great place to learn, connect and succeed.

Tips: Students should know the university is academically strong, cultural diverse and offers many opportunities. Getting involved in campus life early really enhances the experience. The transition was smooth though I did experience some cultural difference overtime I adapted and founded the diversity engaging.

Dislikes (Part time work): Because the professors are highly knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in student learning. Faculty are very approachable and easy to reach through office hours and quick discussions after class. They use a practical and interactive teaching style that combines theory with real world applications. The faculty is diversified in nationality and background bringing valuable global perspectives to the learning experience.
